mtg black card Mission Compleat, Part 1 Foundations: The 5 Best Black

You play your creatures and beat face, as one might expect from a Rakdos colored deck

It generally looks like a solid role-player in those decks

Partner Commanders have enabled combinations to build the ideal color identity would not be possible otherwiseVial Smasher the Fierce and Thrasios, Triton Hero come to mind

But yes overall i totally see that staying alive with this kind of strategy is the primary goal and removal is super important

I spent quite a bit of time searching through my collection and pulling legends aside for use as possibly Commanders

Anytime a creature of yours deals combat damage this turn, if it was turned face up this turn, you get to draw a card
